Hardcover. Zustand: Very good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very good. xx,440, [2] pages. Illustrations. Notes. Index. Paul Samuel Boyer (August 2, 1935March 17, 2012) was a U.S. cultural and intellectual historian (Ph.D., Harvard University, 1966) and Merle Curti Professor of History Emeritus and former director (19932001) of t…he Institute for Research in the Humanities at the University of WisconsinMadison. He had held visiting professorships at UCLA, Northwestern University, and William & Mary; had received Guggenheim Foundation and Rockefeller Foundation Fellowships; and was an elected member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, the Society of American Historians, and the American Antiquarian Society. Boyer was born in 1935 in Dayton, Ohio. He earned his Doctorate in American History from Harvard University. Before being invited to the University of Wisconsin in 1980, he taught at the University of Massachusetts-Amherst from 1967 to 1980. After his retirement, he became an editor at U.W. Press and a co-author of several college textbooks. Boyer was a pacifist and conscientious objector. He specialized in the religious and moral history of the American people from the days of the Salem Witch Trials in the 1690s, through the Protestant efforts to reform society in the 19th and early 20th centuries to the impact of nuclear weapons on the American psyche after World War II. By the Bomb's Early Light is the first book to explore the cultural 'fallout' in America during the early years of the atomic age. Paul Boyer argues that the major aspects of the long-running debates about nuclear armament and disarmament developed and took shape soon after the bombing of Hiroshima. The book is based on a wide range of sources, including cartoons, opinion polls, radio programs, movies, literature, song lyrics, slang, and interviews with leading opinion-makers of the time. Through these materials, Boyer shows the surprising and profoundly disturbing ways in which the bomb quickly and totally penetrated the fabric of American life, from the chillingly prophetic forecasts of observers like Lewis Mumford to the Hollywood starlet who launched her career as the 'anatomic bomb.' Derived from a Kirkus review: A kaleidoscope of images of what Americans thought and said about The Bomb from 1945 to 1950. Almost every conceivable stance that could be taken was taken during those five years--from the pie-in-the-sky forecasts of atomic cars to the foreboding of the end of the human race. Such cultural fallout stands in marked contrast to the spate of books glorifying the science and scientists involved in the Manhattan Project. Later, the themes of these books changed to the politics of the arms race and the controversies surrounding Oppenheimer or Teller. Boyer's approach is unique in presenting a panoramic view. By immersing himself deeply in all the records--the newspapers and popular magazines, the literary critics and religious thinkers, the radio and TV commentators and comedians, the science fiction writers and anonymous Americans everywhere--he evokes vivid images and memorable names. There was, of course, William Laurence, whose New York Times article scooped the world and led to an initial euphoria. The pendulum soon swung, however. The scientists were among the first to proclaim impending doom. Movements quickly formed espousing worldwide controls or disarmament. Max Lerner, Raymond Gram Swing, Norman Cousins, A.J. Muste were among the liberal voices arguing against atomic weapons. In condemning the bomb, Catholics lined up in the pages of Commonweal. Dwight MacDonald shouted his damnations fortissimo. To little avail. For, as Boyer notes, "By 1950, the obsessive post-Hiroshima awareness of the horror of the atomic bomb had given way to an interval of diminished cultural attention and uneasy acquiescence in the goal of maintaining atomic superiority over the Russians." Boyer's well-taken point is that since 1950 America has seen a second wave of activism followed by apathy, and now 40 years later we a. Lynn Levy (Author photograph) (illustrator).
